Sunshine, swaps & stitches

Hello there!

I hope you had a great weekend...Here on the North Coast we have had the most unbelievable sunny weather, so lots of gardening done.. and a little sewing to show you

First up is the March block for our do. Good Stitches bee. March is Kat's turn to be queen bee &, rather than make a block, she has given us the opportunity to make any type of wee quilt top we would like. Kat runs a bee which donates blankets to sick & premature babies in her local hospital so this is what went off to her to-day...As a neonatal doctor, I know the trauma and anguish of parents who's little ones are sick and suffering, so it is a real privilege to be able to support Kat's great work

I just love that wee birdie - it just makes me smile! :)
Last up are the blocks I've been working on for my doll quilt swap partner.... I'm hoping she will like them

I just have to work out what colour of sashing to use... any thoughts?
I hope you all have a great day....I'll be back on Thursday with the last stage of our Irish Road Trip...and the giveaway details! See you then!
Take care
Karen

The UK weather looks wonderful - my SIL is visiting here from Cumbria and has been enjoying our Autumn sunshine, perhaps she'll have some spring sunshine to look forward to on her return (mind you she does live in Cumbria........) Your gift pouches look gorgeous - I love the little Dresden Plate details :)

The starflowers look stunning together. They look very professional draped from the tree house. Your mouthy stitches pouch is full of detail. I really like dresdens and that ibird in the middle is very sweet. The sun is wonderful and it feels so good. We are having sharp frosts and mist at night though! Di xo

Hi Karen, I am just starting to enjoy a rebirth of sewing enjoyment. For many years now my machine has been for mending only. Life got so busy, now that I am retired my sewing machine is slowly become a thing of joy and pleasure again. I found you through googling "free style embroidery" and I have fallen in love with your blog and your creativity. You are an inspiration. I am your newest follower.Connie :)
